Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a labelling machine for labels printed on continuous film.
  • Labelling machines are known that are designed for the application on containers of labels printed on a continuous film that is wound in the form of a reel.
  • Such machines comprise a rotating carousel provided with supporting plates for the individual containers, adapted to turn the containers about their own axis, and the continuous film that unwinds from the reel arrives, after being passed through several devices that ensure its alignment and correct tension, at a rotating drum provided with blades which is adapted to receive and retain, so that it clings to its own surface, the film in order to cut the labels and bring the individual labels, separated after cutting, into contact with corresponding containers supported by the carousel.
  • the rotating drum is called "cutting and transfer drum".
  • WO2008077457 A1 discloses a labelling machine in accordance with the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such machines have a disadvantageous characteristic which consists in a major lack of functional flexibility, as will be explained in detail hereinafter, because they can function correctly only if they are used to operate on labels of length proximate to an optimal length; only in this case are the containers designed to receive the labels imparted a rotation speed about their own axis which first and foremost does not cause problems of stability for the containers which feature increasingly lower characteristics of resilience, and also ensures a good quality of tack of the label.
  • EP 2 082 966 A2 discloses an apparatus for labelling containers.
  • a label strip is fed by a rotation roller past a first radiation laser device that cuts labels. After the cutting process, the labels thus cut are stuck onto containers supported by a rotating carousel, by means of a further radiation laser device providing spot welding of the label on the container.
  • WO 2007/110738 A1 discloses an apparatus for producing labels.
  • a cutting means is provided which cuts labels from a plastic film, wherein the cutting means comprises a laser.
  • This apparatus also comprises a distributing roll for an adhesive, in order to apply the adhesive to the labels.
  • the aim of the present invention is to devise a labelling machine that is provided with optimal characteristics of functional flexibility, so as to be capable of operating correctly on labels that have different lengths while still ensuring optimal values of the speed of rotation of the containers intended to receive the labels about their own axis.
  • FIG 1 with the details shown in figures 2 and 3 represents, as mentioned above, a conventional labelling machine with the containers to be labelled absent.
  • the machine comprises a carousel 1 which rotates in the direction of the arrow, and is provided with supporting plates 2 for individual containers 3 shown in the following figures, turned about their own axis according to the arrows in the figure.
  • the containers are arranged to arrive at the supports of the carousel by means of an intake star wheel 4a, and to be removed by means of an exit star wheel 4b.
  • the reference numeral 5 indicates a reel of film 6, which is pretreated with adhesive, that continuously produces the printed labels.
  • the film 6 Upon unwinding from the reel 5, the film 6 passes to a device 7 for alignment and adjustment of tension and to a feeder 8, and finally arrives at a cutting and transfer drum 9 provided with four blades 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d which are supported by it and which cut the individual labels that remain clinging to the drum by way of a suction device with which it is provided, and the labels are transferred to the individual containers.
  • a cutting and transfer drum 9 provided with four blades 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d which are supported by it and which cut the individual labels that remain clinging to the drum by way of a suction device with which it is provided, and the labels are transferred to the individual containers.
  • the drum 9 has a diameter of 540 mm, and it is assumed that it is desired to achieve a production rate of 12,000 containers per hour.
  • Figure 2 shows the situation in which the machine operates on labels, which for practical purposes will be called “long labels”, which have a length of 400 mm which approximates to the distance, referred to as "pitch", between two of the blades of the drum 9.
  • Labels 11 and 12, already cut, can clearly be seen comprised respectively between blades 10a, 10b and 10b, 10c, and it can clearly be seen that a label 13 is being applied to a container 14.
  • short labels which have a length of 172 mm, i.e. clearly shorter than the pitch of the blades, as can be seen in figure 3 which shows labels 15 and 16 still clinging to the drum and a label 17 being applied to a container 18, calculations show that the speed of rotation of the individual containers about their own axis is 345.50 revolutions per minute, and this speed is no longer acceptable.
  • This machine also features the carousel 1 provided with supporting means such as supporting plates 2, turned about their own axis, which are adapted to support individual containers 3 conveyed by respectively an intake star wheel 4a and an exit star wheel 4b, and a film 6 still unwinds from a reel 5 that continuously produces the printed labels and it passes to a device 7 for the alignment and adjustment of the tension and to a feeder 8 in order to arrive at a drum 24 which rotates in the direction of the arrow in the figure.
  • supporting means such as supporting plates 2, turned about their own axis, which are adapted to support individual containers 3 conveyed by respectively an intake star wheel 4a and an exit star wheel 4b, and a film 6 still unwinds from a reel 5 that continuously produces the printed labels and it passes to a device 7 for the alignment and adjustment of the tension and to a feeder 8 in order to arrive at a drum 24 which rotates in the direction of the arrow in the figure.
  • a laser head 25 which, thanks to suitable methods of operation of the feeder 8, will perform the cut of the film at the separation line between two consecutive labels.
  • the labels can be indifferently "long” and “short” because, no matter what the length is of the label that is cut, the condition is achieved of a high exploitation of the supporting surface on the drum, which we have seen achieves optimal operating conditions of the machine thereby provided with an exceptionally high degree of flexibility.
  • the film pretreated with adhesive as mentioned above can be heat-shrinking or non-heat-shrinking indifferently, and given that in any case the machine according to the invention is also adapted to operate on film designed to be spread with adhesive after the labels are cut, attention is drawn to the fact that this machine makes it possible, following suitable programming, to cut labels of different lengths consecutively.
  • the laser head is positioned on the machine in a position that is variable both radially and circumferentially, so as to enable it to be fixed in the best condition according to the material of the film to be handled, and according to the size of the labels.
